Dynamic Map Platform's Snow Removal Support System Sees Rapid Adoption, Shipments Increase Ninefold in Two Years

Dynamic Map Platform announced that shipments of its 'SRSS' (Snow Removal Support System), provided by its group company Dynamic Map Platform Axyz, have increased approximately ninefold in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2023.

SRSS combines the company's high-precision 3D map data—also used in the field of autonomous driving—with location information to visualize the positions of road shoulders, manholes, and structures under snow on tablet devices, supporting decision-making and operations during snow removal.

In recent years, labor shortages and the aging of the workforce involved in snow removal have become significant issues. Local governments are urgently building safe and efficient snow removal systems that do not rely solely on individual experience or intuition. As a response to these challenges, the adoption of SRSS has progressed. In fiscal 2025, it began operations in new areas, including Hokkaido's Kutchan Town (Niseko area), two routes in Aomori Prefecture (Prefectural Road 40/National Route 102), three routes in Iwate Prefecture (Hachimantai Jukai Line/National Route 342/National Route 397), and the Chokai Blue Line in Akita Prefecture, in addition to already announced locations such as Yonezawa City in Yamagata Prefecture and Noto Airport in Ishikawa Prefecture. This brings the total number of operation sites to 15.

Feedback from stakeholders in regions that have introduced SRSS highlights improvements in safety and efficiency, support for project progress management, and improvements in the guidance and training of young operators.

SRSS is a product compatible with the Japanese government's direction for public procurement from startups. The company aims for further expansion in shipment volume and deployment to other snowy regions, airports, and arterial roads, aiming for the broader dissemination of snow removal DX.
